Dear Parents,
Happy Tuesday! One of my favorite Christian bands is a band
is a small group out of Ireland called “Rend Collective”. I just came across one
of their newest songs called “Rescuer” and I LOVE it! I don’t know what is going on your lives, but
the words really just spoke to me and I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!
Today we started our “Morning Tubs”! On Tuesday and Thursday, the firsties will
have an opportunity to create, work together, and use their imaginations with
different resources. “Tub Tuesday” and
“Tub Thursday” may only be started when their regular morning routines (turned
in homework, sharpened pencils, filled up water bottle, and used the restroom)
are completed.
Thank you for working on and completing the firsties first
ever Math Choice Boards! You needed to
only pick one activity to do, but some of you went above and beyond and did all
three. For the next chapter, two choices will need
to be made, but I will send home information about that….please watch for it!
Their math tests from the first chapter are coming home today and I am pleased,
overall, with how they did. Our next chapter is about subtraction.
For spelling today, students were paired or grouped together
and worked at writing the spelling words in sand or using magnetic letters to
spell the words out. Our spelling
practice test will be tomorrow and the regular test will be on Friday. Thank you for helping your firstie to prepare
for these tests. Don’t forget that our memory
test will be Friday as well (even though we have a ½ day!).
Just a FYI….I have started entering grades into Fast
Direct. Please make it a habit to check
out Fast Direct weekly, for important information and to take a peak how your
kiddo is doing with their homework and tests.
At our Prayer Partner Activity last week, Mrs. Hurley
introduced our mission for the next few months, Aaron’s Gifts From Home. This is an organization that involves putting
together care packages for solider overseas. Some of the items that Trinity is
looking for to contribute to the care packages are: deodorant, lotion, dental
floss, lip balm, toothpaste, cards, dice, puzzle books, shampoo, tissues, baby
wipes, batteries, trail mix, granola bars, beef jerky, fruit snacks, mini
footballs, etc…If you are willing to donate hygiene items, they should be
travel size. Our offerings for the next
few months will also be going towards Aaron’s Gifts From Home, to help pay for
the shipping cost (It roughly costs $17.00 to send one package). Does your firstie know where their little
black wallet is? Every student received
a black wallet last year to carry their offering in. If your kiddo lost theirs, please contact the
office. Thank you!
I asked each firstie to practice their “karate alphabet”
over the next few days and on Friday, there may or may not be a prize for the
firstie who can get all the way through without any mistakes! ;)
For some, it seems, that water bottles are becoming a
distraction (playing with them, sucking on them, tipping them over, etc...) . Please help me in reminding
your firstie what they are for. Thank
you!
Whew! It was a long
one today! Thanks for reading!
***Don’t forget to have your kiddo bring back their library
book tomorrow!
Blessings!
Miss Gallagher
